Any input on this bike?
I've done some research and it seems like it has pretty decent components and would double as a fast commuter as well as something I could certainly take to the trails. Am I correct about this?
Hey there Rocky!
Well that's certainly a step up from my original recommendation. Yes! I'd go for that one too!

Of course, there is this one from the REI outlet:
The Diamondback Insight RS Commuter ~ $390

This one spares you the cost of adding a rack and fenders. Well, you're technically paying for them. You're just getting them for dirt cheap.
